The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com extends a warm welcome to all attending the Kerry Lied rally in D.C. this weekend.Previous to this announcement, we have made no offical plans except for attending the rally and the Saturday night reception. However, with so many FReepers travelling to D.C. from across the country, we would be remiss in not hosting a FReeper gathering or two.Therefore, we have two suggestions for activities. One is a gathering at the Russian embassy at 2650 Wisconsin Avenue, NW on Saturday, September 11, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., to mark the third anniversary of the September...

The Aug. 12 editorial did not mention one charge that gives credence to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth: that Sen. John F. Kerry lied when he repeatedly stated that he was on a mission in Cambodia on Christmas Day, 1968. In a floor speech in the Senate on March 17, 1986, Mr. Kerry said the memory of being in Cambodia that day was "seared" in him. Now that he has been challenged on that by his fellow officers, Mr. Kerry, through a spokesman, says his seared memory is now a "mistaken recollection" and he's not sure where he was...

A few days before the 9/11 Commission released its report, I called their press office. The commission had issued a press release announcing the date, time and city of their press conference about the report, but not the location. This was Tuesday, the day after the Sandy Berger story had broken and the press officer was frazzled.I informed who I was and told him I had noticed the location of the press conference wasn't in the release and asked him where it was. He asked me if I had registered for the event. I told him no. He said I'd...

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As an experienced protester from the right, Raoul Deming has caused many politicians to become red-faced with frustration and rage.

Former Sen. Bob Kerrey confronts two protesters who were heckling him over his work on the Sept. 11 commission. This is a differnet video. Higher quality.

MSNBC just showed a clip of Bob Kerrey confronting "hecklers" on his way into the building where the press conference about the 9-11 book is to be held. I'd bet my house it was kristinn and Doctor Raoul. It was UGLY.....but they did great!!!
